A friend of mine was involved in a shooting a few years ago. Both the good guy and the perp were armed with S&W 686, 7 shot models.

Both were firing .357 magnum rounds. My buddy took one in the elbow which traveled up his arm, exiting near his shoulder, rupturing his brachial artery. My friend survived but lost a hell of a lot of blood.

Mr. Bad Guy took 4 rounds, one of which severed his spinal cord. Both shooters emptied their weapons in less than 3.5 seconds according to the surveillance cam video.

Mr. Bad Guy did the world a favor and put his final round into his own head.

The first round was fired at less than 9 feet, the final shots at less than 3, measured distances supported by above video.
